Water infrastructure renewal is receiving significant attention today as many of our systems are meeting (or exceeding) design life.
Cities in countries with well developed economies like the U.S. enjoy economic prosperity in part due to the development of heavily centralized water systems that create high levels of water quality and public health, on average. While centralized water infrastructure has served us well, we should not be constrained to applying 20th century thinking as we plan for the future.
The current revolution in information technologies (IT: software, hardware and devices) has the potential to transform urban water infrastructure by creating more resilient and flexible hybrid systems comprised of an interacting collection of centralized and decentralized physical & IT systems.
This lecture will be presented by University of Michigan's Borchardt and Glysson Collegiate Professor Nancy Love. The lecture is part of the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists (AAEES) Kappe Lecture Series.
Refreshments will follow the lecture.
